They try to impeach Clinton for getting something they could only get if they paid for it and now impeachment for legitimate crimes & misdemeanors comes across as either same-old same-old political white noise or petty revenge.

The strategy: convince the dumb that the trumped up or meaningless "crime" committed by a Dem is the equivalent of raping bambi, all while sickening the rest to the point that they simply tune out.  That way, when they commit truly audacious crimes most of the population sees it as politics as usual when the Dems go after them or out-and-out slander.  Gotta gime them credit for having such balls.
